My sound localizing Raspberry Pi installs a resilient base system as part of its install. https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru https://hackaday.com/2023/12/30/localizing-fireworks-launches-with-a-raspberry-pi/ https://hackaday.com/2023/12/30/localizing-fireworks-launche... With one command it for all Pi’s for both Raspbian and bookworm it: * Shrinks the file system (Gee, how does it do that with just one disk ? ;-) ) * Creates new partitions * Installs a memory overlayFS * Installs and configures the system as an audio recorder with micro second time accuracy * updates /etc/rc to do a forced repair of the data and config portions, in case they were damaged. This avoids system hangs waiting for human interaction with fsck For the partitioning scheme it creates a swap partition, not as a wow but as an enabler if you really need it to install some large software. It creates a small config partition. The idea here is that you keep it read only and remount it read write if you need to change config then remount it read only again. And finally a data partition, which in this projects case is where the audio files are written. I maintain a version of an overlayFS boot for the Pi but it needs revisiting for bookworm. The easiest way to use do this is to install the sbts-aru and then just don’t use it. Then everything is done for you in one command. And that version works for all Pi’s. I also do this for the Jetson SBCs. But I need to revisit this for the Orin series. I have it working here for myself and friends but need to update the installer. Note, due to kernel behavior changes with Orin the older Pi like overlayFS code will not work. But I solved this and will release it when I release the Orin release of sbts-install soon. I’ve been using memory overlayFS like installs for years for long running Pi systems.
